Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 44 Exam
It turns out that there are still a lot of wealthy people in the wizarding world.

Dolphin Magic Drink is like a plug-in. After using it, the study time can be almost doubled as usual. This is an irresistible temptation for candidates who want to get good grades.

Even if Mike raised the purchase price of Dolphin Magic Drink to 3 gold galleons per bottle, it was still in short supply. The final retail price of each bottle of Dolphin Magic Drink basically ranged from 5 gold galleons to 9 gold galleons, which made the middlemen who obtained the Dolphin Magic Drink agent earn even more than Mike.

But Mike does not envy them, he knows that if a brand wants to grow bigger and stronger, it must maintain a good reputation. Unrestrainedly raising prices for profit is a behavior of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

And don’t be fooled by the fact that these middlemen are enjoying a good life now. When the exams are over and the demand for Dolphin Magic Drink decreases, that’s when they will suffer.

Who among those who can afford the Dolphin Magic Drink is not a wealthy family? Would these people allow others to take advantage of their misfortune without taking revenge? Mike would never believe it.

The hot sales of Dolphin Magic Drink naturally attracted the attention of some interested people. From the name of the magic drink, one can guess that this magic drink should be related to Dolphin, so there has been an endless stream of people coming to Dolphin in the past few days.

However, Mike had already warned Dolphin that if he dared to reveal the formula of Dolphin's magic drink to others, he would be in a dilemma. Of course, Mike still understood the principle of giving a sweet date after a slap. After scaring Dolphin to tremble, Mike promised to give him 5% of the dividends as patent fees. After this set of operations, Dolphin, the cowardly kid, finally began to be grateful to Mike.

Mike doesn't care whether Dolphin is born with this personality or has a Stockholm psychosis attack, as long as the final result is in Mike's interest, it is enough.

As the days passed, the sales of Dolphin Magic Drink increased steadily. On the day before the exam, when Mike and the Weasley brothers gathered together to calculate the profits, everyone was stunned by the exaggerated amount. After removing the decimals, the net profit of the past few days actually reached 12,000 gold galleons!

After deducting the 5% profit share promised to Dolphin, the Weasley brothers and Mike divided the remaining 11,400 Galleons equally.

Looking at the 5,700 gold Galleons that were enough to crush them to death, the Weasley brothers were in a dream. Such a large sum of money was enough for them to open a large-scale toy and joke shop in Diagon Alley. They even had the urge to drop out of school right now to fulfill their dream, but after thinking about how their mother would react when she found out about this, they decisively gave up the idea.

After dividing the spoils, Mike finally faced his first final exam at Hogwarts.

Mike didn't care about this exam, as the first-grade questions were not difficult. Besides, Mike didn't have any family, so even if he didn't do well on the exam, he didn't have to worry about being beaten up by his parents when he got home. But at least he had to pass the exam, because I heard that people who failed too many subjects would be expelled from school, but I didn't know if it was true or not.

The first exam was Professor Flitwick's Charms. There was nothing much to say about it. As Professor Flitwick's favorite student, Mike's Charms class was definitely the best among all the subjects he had learned.

The practical exam in Charms required casting a levitation spell on a pineapple and controlling it to tap dance across a desk.

To be honest, this is quite difficult. Most young wizards can only make the pineapple float. If they can make the pineapple fly smoothly over the desk, they are considered to have learned it well. As for tap dancing? That requires very precise control of the spell.

But this was not a problem for Mike. After a year of meditation, his spell control was far beyond the reach of other young wizards of the same grade. With a wave of his wand, the pineapple seemed alive and performed various difficult flying movements in the air. Finally, the pineapple jumped across the desk like a juggler.

Although it wasn't tap dancing, Professor Flitwick was still very happy.

After the test, he asked Mike why he could control such complex flying movements but couldn't make Pineapple tap dance?

Mike was speechless. He couldn't say that he was a rough man in his previous life and didn't know how to tap dance. The practical test of Transfiguration was to turn a mouse into a snuff box. When Mike heard the question, he was confused again. What is a snuff box?
In the end, it was Professor McGonagall who demonstrated to Mike and produced a snuff box inlaid with emeralds. Only then did Mike know what a snuff box looked like.

Unfortunately, even though Mike knew the appearance of the snuff box, the snuff box he could conjure up could not be as exquisite as Professor McGonagall's. After all his effort, he could only produce an ordinary snuff box.

Looking at Professor McGonagall's unhappy expression, Mike felt that his Transfiguration grade was probably in jeopardy.

Unlike the previous two exams, Professor Snape is obviously a more rigid person. The exam content of Potions is to make a bottle of forgetfulness potion, which is not as weird as Charms and Transfiguration.

Mike secretly thought it was safe, he had done well in Potions class, it was just a bottle of forgetfulness potion, it was a piece of cake for him.

After checking Mike's forgetfulness potion, Professor Snape not only did not mock him as per his character setting, but even nodded with satisfaction. Seeing the reaction of the old bat, Mike was overjoyed. His potion result this time would definitely not be too bad.

There is no need to mention other subjects like History of Magic. Mike felt that he would be lucky enough to pass those subjects.

Finally, with the end of the last exam, the little wizards of Hogwarts were liberated.

Laughter and joy have returned to the Hogwarts campus, and the faces of the little wizards are once again filled with bright smiles. The exams are over, and they can have fun for a whole week until the exam results are announced.

Mike walked quickly down the corridor leading to Ravenclaw Tower, surrounded by cheerful little wizards.

He was not smiling like the others. He decided to sneak into the restricted area of ​​Hogwarts tonight. Whether he would get rich overnight or be caught and expelled from school depended on tonight.

Just now he saw with his own eyes the three saviors walking hurriedly towards Hagrid's hut. According to the plot, tonight should be the time for the trio to go to the trapdoor to play the game.

The original book mentioned that when the trio went to the trapdoor, Dumbledore went to London because of a letter. This was undoubtedly the best time for Michael to sneak into the restricted area.

However, according to Mike's guess, Dumbledore probably did not go to London, but stayed near the trio to prevent his little savior from getting into trouble. If Mike's guess is true, then this intrusion would be discovered by Dumbledore if there was any mistake.

But now Mike can no longer care about so many things. The gradual collapse of the plot and the terrifying green light of Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest, all these put a lot of pressure on Mike. He knows that he must use all his strength as soon as possible, otherwise he will die.

Thinking of this, Mike quickened his pace.

PS: Thank you Trooper1770 for the reward again. As an old reader, I won’t say much. I kowtow to you.
